That looks like that meme where the guy is working under the old pickup using 2x4s to hold it up in the air. 
Thank you! Going on the 4500 I bought a few months ago. It’ll have 4 underbody boxes on it when it’s done. Lots of storage. Two 18x18x30 up front and two 14x16x24 in the rear

I snapped the pick just after driving the truck out from under it. It’s all blocked up and jack stands now.That looks like that meme where the guy is working under the old pickup using 2x4s to hold it up in the air.
I'm with you. People out here putting up reindeer on November first, and I'm like Give it till after Thanksgiving at least! I wanna enjoy both holidays with all their respective positives.
And their own amazing food. (Quite frankly that's the thing I look forward to most.) 
I'm not really a "Christmas person" per-se mainly because of my job. Usually I was just too darn busy during the week, and every second on the weekends would be planned, otherwise nothing would get done before the sn*w flies. Last few years, I just dont care anymore. Things will take care of themselves. Less stress that way. Honestly, Im having more fun on the job now bc of that.I'm with you.

But yeah, seeing Xmas stuff out in OCTOBER just irks me.
The theory I tried to get it up and didn’t work, worked like a charm putting it back on lol. The trailer did all the work, no jacks this time.Now just getting it down

That video is far closer to the truth than you know. I've walked off 1/4 mile driveways in the winter years ago.
Yep, that's about right. Our regular UPS driver is AWESOME. I've seen him park at the top of our road/hill with 18" of snow on the ground and road and schlep packages down the hill on foot. FedEx on the other hand, if there's a heavy frost, it's 'undeliverable due to weather/impassible road'
A few years back, I was complaining to my wife about how diffidult it was having to use my cart in 6" of snow. She says, "Go get a sled". So simple.Yep, that's about right.

So ya know what? I did. Damn thing fits in the cab behind the safety bar on the pass side of the truck....perfect spot.
First time I used it, I put four large barstool boxes on it and easily pushed them up to the house. I was laughing the whole time, thinking "Why the hell didnt I do this years ago?"
My coworkers pick on me all the time about my sled, but they also see the logic in it. At my age, I have to find ways to make the job easier.
BTW, we also have an option not to deliver to homes if its really bad out. Its called "emergency conditions".
Better to wait a day or two for the plows than to get stuck. Many times Ive been out in blizzard conditions that keep me on paved or main roads only.
On those days I have to use my area knowledge to deliver country road stops to their relatives in town. Works pretty well, and it only actually affects things a few days during the winter.
Thank god for modern snow tires, too.
